GEDCOM import problem with sources from FTM

I am trying to import a GEDCOM from FTM 2017 (but the same issue happens with the Mac FTM 3.1 version as well). Because of the way FTM exports sources, I have this as a result in TNG under "publisher": Name: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.; Location: Lehi, UT, USA; Date: 2016; (I am using the generic source type since the ones based on templates do not work.)

I don't mind that all being given in TNG as the publisher, but how can I strip out "Name:", "Location:" and "Date:" as well as the final semi-colon? Do I need to manually process the GEDCOM in a text editor first?

I have tried putting all that into the Publisher Name field of the source in FTM, but again "Name:" and an extraneous semi-colon are generated.

I am using the Gedcom Converter mod with the FTM conversion box ticked.
